Dragonfire II and "Second Version" of ships Help

[Bryce]

How the hell do I unlock the option to buy the Dragonfire II ship? I did the Eleos retreat quest, I'm high level, I maxed out the piloting and ship building and engineering skills but I still only see the normal "Dragonfire" ship in the Eleos ship store. I don't understand how to unlock the option to buy the "second tier" of some of the ships. I also slept for 24 local hours to try to reset the store and still no Dragonfire II. I can't find any info about the "second version" of ships online anywhere.

I'm not sure at what level it occurred but I went back and was able to buy the DF II... at lower player levels I could not.

What level were you when you went back?

Also did you have perks in starship design?

I'm not sure about buying the II - but I do know there is an opportunity to steal one from the Eclipse...since it's parked at my Groombridge 1 Outpost. IIRC, it was on a planet in Newton and was a "sneak on, slaughter the crew, steal it" move. Note that several L90-ish baddies were on board (in case that's an issue for you). IF you chase it, be warned that it - even though I never found the stuff - flagged me for contraband when I took it to UC/FC space instead of intelligently taking it to my outpost.

Stats:

Class C Deep Core Fusor DC403 Reactor @39 power, shield 2142, Crew 6, Mass 2151, and a very solid 3888 cargo capacity

It came with 2 Class C Supernova 2200 engines plus a pair Class A Reladyne White Dwarf 1000s, a solid Class C Deep Core Apollo GV100 grav drive, and both a good Light Scythe Obliterator particle turret and a decent Balistics Solutions CE59 missile system,

I think you should go hunt for it. Good luck!
